Artist Statement

Lately I’ve been drawn to the effect of illuminated stone- a fascinating juxtaposition of two very different substances. Light and transparency have always been mesmerizing, but didn’t enter into my own work until recently. Throughout everything, the recurring themes of Fibonacci spirals, women and water appear and reappear, resulting in a quiet, eerie beauty.
All of my art making is tied to sculpture as I gravitate to the concrete presence of three-dimensional form. I explore the sensuality and timelessness of being female as I navigate through each boulder. Stone is seductive, due to the fluid nature of direct carving- searching for forms under the skin of the stone’s surface and working towards a simple elegance.
